I Refuse to Divorce novel (Zoe and Mason) novel Chapter 128

Half an hour later, Zoe was back in the manor. She didn’t use an umbrella when she got out of the car. Instead, she let the rain fall on her and cleanse her mind as well as her heart.

Stepping inside with her shoes, a pool of rainwater collected on the white carpet. The servant didn’t dare to say anything. All she could do was make some tomato soup for her to fight the cold.

Zoe went upstairs and the first thing she saw was their ‘wedding photo.’ Mason wouldn’t take the picture with her back then. She was the one who shamelessly asked the studio to photoshop him into the picture and paid them eighty thousand dollars for the trouble.

There was a time when she’d look at this picture and look forward to the day when Mason would love her from the bottom of his heart.

However, there was nothing but irony when she looked at it now!

Stomping onto the bed, she tried to take it down. She was so agitated that she accidentally cut her hand on the photo’s steel frame. It was a frightening sight when fresh blood dripped off of her hands, but it was as if she didn’t feel pain at all.

She flung the photo onto the ground and proceeded to the makeup table. Then, she sat down slowly and saw her miserable self in the mirror.

Taking in the sight, she realized she was trembling all over and her wet hair clung to her cheeks. Her clothes were drenched and stuck to her skin. She looked exactly like a lady who was tragically ditched by her husband.

In fact, her fate was more tragic than that. One had to be loved first before she could be ditched. On the other hand, all she had to show for loving him for six straight years was his harsh words.

“I’m not done toying with her!”

Lowering her gaze, she pulled open the drawer slowly. The diary was in there. It contained all of her thoughts and sentiments from her youthful days.

She took it out with her bloodied hands and opened it in a daze. Now that she was numbed to Mason, her love for him in the past seemed very stupid in hindsight.

“Today’s our first day as husband and wife. He was very rough with me, but I think he’ll eventually find out that I didn’t mean for things to happen the way they did that night.”

“He’s going to treat me gently and love me for real when the time comes!”

…

Tears filled her eyes.
